Closing CommentsNatural gas plays (including actual drilling, the well pad, staging and parking areas,permanent and temporary roadways and access areas) are extremely large construction projectswith enormous natural gas energy potential. They also have attracted considerable public andregulatory scrutiny. That said, once permits are obtained, fast mobilization, deployment andoperations are necessary. Within the entire activity a low profile and exposure is always anadvantage. All of these aspects can capitalize on geosynthetics in a major way. This WhitePaper has described many of these opportunities.Of course, and within acceptable environmental criteria, benefit/cost analyses are alwaysrequired for alternative and competing systems. We feel that in so doing, geosynthetic materialswill invariably be the obvious choice for many of these applications.For general information on geosynthetics see the following websites or contact theauthors of this White Paper.Geosynthetic Institute www.geosynthetic-institute.orgGeosynthetic Materials Association www.ifai.comGMA Techline at gmatechline@ifai.comGeosynthetics Magazine www.geosyntheticsmagazine.comGeosynthetica www.geosynthetica.netInternational Geosynthetics Society www.geosyntheticssociety.orgNorth American Geosynthetics Society www.nagsigs.org-26-
